There were about 15 people who reached out to me this week saying, "WTFGrandy!! What's up with the blog?" (alright, perhaps that's a bit of a paraphrase)

So...in honor of all my friends who have been waiting for me to entertain, Grandy presents another rousing chapter of "Grandy-isms". The last couple of weeks have provided for some EPIC material. Remember folks, I can't use names, and must keep it vague as to WHO I may be having these conversations or email exchanges with, in order to keep my job protect the sometimes innocent.

Him: So, what happened with that? Did it slip through the cracks?Me: Not my crack...yours.

Email exchange:Adjuster: (received first thing in the morning) Dear Mary, as I promised you last week I will be calling you today to discuss.Me: (sent at the end of the day) Dear "Adjuster", technically the promise was that you would call me yesterday, given that our deadline is tomorrow. How bout you just tell me in your email, what it is you don't seem to want to tell me on the phone?

Shared on FB...but good enough to repeat:Him: How did you get so smart?Me: I surround myself with truly gifted people who help me, or really stupid people who make me look good.Him: Which one am I?Me: That depends on the day.

Different "Him": ::smiling:: You were snippy with me in that email.Me: Which one?Him: Which email were you trying to be snippy in?Me: No, they were all meant to be snippy. Which one finally worked?

Her: Why does your office IM status always show as "busy"?Me: Because there was no status available for "Drowning within an inch of my life".

Different "Her": If I ask you a question, will you give me an honest answer?Me: Will you be able to tell if it wasn't honest?Her: I suppose not.Me: Well there you have it. Let's play!!

There you have it folks. Another brief chapter of Grandy-isms. I really do have a lot of fun at my job. I am easily amused, and it helps get me through the day. :)
